Function object for performing comparisons. Uses operator< on type T.

Notes

Implementation-defined strict total order over pointers

A specialization of std::less for any pointer type yields the implementation-defined strict total order, even if the built-in operator< operator does not.

The implementation-defined strict total order is consistent with the partial order imposed by built-in comparison operators (<=>,(since C++20)<, >, <=, and >=), and consistent among following standard function objects:

(since C++20)

Member types

type definition
result_type bool
first_argument_type T
second_argument_type T

Member functions

operator()
checks if the first argument is less than the second
(public member function)

std::less::operator()

bool operator()( const T& lhs, const T& rhs ) const;

Checks whether lhs is less than rhs.

Parameters

lhs, rhs - values to compare

Return value

true if lhs < rhs, false otherwise.

Exceptions

(none)

Possible implementation

bool operator()(const T &lhs, const T &rhs) const 
{
    return lhs < rhs;
}
